CAISTOR LIONS BEER FESTIVAL – THE BIG LINE-UP!

MUSIC AND FUN AT CAISTOR BEER FESTIVALThe Caistor Lions Beer Festival has a line-up of 22 guest ales. The Festival will be held in Caistor’s South Street Park from 5:00 p.m. until 11:00 p.m. on the evening of Friday 17 June and on the afternoon and evening of Saturday 18 June from 12:00 noon until 11:00 p.m. As would be expected, Lincolnshire brewers will be well represented with ales on offer from Tom Woods, Batemans, Horncastle Ales and Heckington’s 8 Sail Brewery. Out of fairness to the rest of the country, there will also be beers from the farthest reaches of England: Sheffield’s Abbeydale and Kelham Island breweries, Adnam’s from Suffolk, Bespoke from Gloucestershire and Dark Star from West Sussex. The Midlands will be represented by Titanic Brewery at Stoke-on-Trent, Lymestone Brewery at Stone, Derbyshire’s Thornbridge and Wolverhampton’s Marston’s breweries. Skinner’s Brewery from Cornwall, and Theakston’s from North Yorkshire will be there whilst Britain’s oldest brewer, Shepherd Neame from Kent will complete the line-up. A selection of lagers, ciders, wines and soft drinks will also be available, as will be hot and cold food throughout. To comply with licensing laws, an adult of 18 years or over must accompany all persons under the age of 16 and those fortunate enough to look younger than 25 years may be asked for proof of their age. Acceptable forms of proof will be a Pass I.D. Card with hologram, a photocard driving licence or a passport.Caistor and District Lions have for many years staged enormously popular events such as November’s Caistor Bonfire and the annual St George’s Day and Christmas concerts so there are high expectations for their first Beer Festival. As with all other events, money raised from the Festival will go towards funding local good causes so not only will the Festival be an opportunity to sample some of the country’s finest ales, it will help support the local branch of the world’s largest service organisation in the work that they do helping communities and needy individuals. There have been some late changes to the music line-up at the Caistor Lions Beer Festival at South Street Park, Caistor on Friday 17 and Saturday 18 June but, with some very talented musicians playing a wide variety of music, it promises to be a great two days of fun and entertainment with the added bonus of 22 of the nations finest ales on tap.
